I enjoyed these three books. I'm interested in sociology/pyschology...why people do things the things they do. Are there other books along the same lines as these 3?

I haven't read Freakonomics but I read The world is flat and I hear they're almost similiar. It have more to do with economics and world technology though.

I read Freakonomics and found it to be a good read. I think I'll pick up some Malcolm Gladwell books next.

Oh, Gladwell started a blog

Freaknomics = street drug dealers are being shafted. the supplier makes all the $?

whats Tipping Point & Blink about?

Tipping Point: how small changes can have tremendous results.

Blink: the human subconciousness plays a large role in your decisions, and can even be more accurate or can yield better consequences than concious thinking.

Then there is a book that counters Blink, it's titled "Think!" but I haven't read it yet.
